However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may influence children's studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.

In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform (平臺), where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can lean at home through computer or mobile network.

It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection(感染))of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve "no suspension(暫停)of classes". Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.

Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization(普及); at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.

Successful people in life imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. By sitting goals you are taking control of your life. It's like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind(her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goals destination or map. She starts off at the same tine from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas(汽油). Which driver do you want to be?

Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set—and they aren't difficult to reach. It's up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.

Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power.
